Is this story true? My sources are hearing it directly from her, and that's the tough part. Anyone interested in good government would be delighted to see her leave the area. But I don't place much stock in anything she says. Honesty is not exactly her strong suit.
Dolan is the former Executive Director at Illick's Mill, but was forced to resign after it because clear that she was using her position on City Council to secure favorable treatment at the Mill. She was also removed as Parks Committee Chair after proposing a reduction in alcohol restrictions at City Park structures like the Mill, so she could serve stronger booze at weddings legally.
Her mismanagement at the Mill includes a whopping $128,000 bill from Bethlehem that will never be paid, as well as a suspension of the Mill's nonprofit status when she failed to file tax returns for three years straight.
She and her nonprofit have attracted the attention of an Investigating Grand Jury convened by DA John Morganelli. She has referred to her critics, presumably including me, as a Gang of Jerks.
I wish these folks would get it straight. Just yesterday, I was being accused of being the ringleader of the Sticker Gang. Now it's the Gang of Jerks.

Someone said there was a sign at the Fox nature center stating it was closing. Supposedly there was another sign that said thanks to Bernie O'Hare.
Maybe true, maybe not but many who use the facility do blame you.
It should say, thanks to Karen Dolan. She's the one who engaged in repeated conflicts, mismanaged it, and then blamed others for her own shortcomings.
Since you have already convicted her why bother to wait for the grand jury to decide on any charges.
I don't think Canadians take just anybody.
Well, sure. You ruined her life over something negligible.
Instead of running to Canada, she should run for Mayor!
Canada is quite politically correct and doesn't put up with any religious bigotry. Given her anti-Catholic history, this may present an immigration problem for her.
"Well, sure. You ruined her life over something negligible"
Yeah, abusing the authority of her office to engage in repeated conflicts is "negligible."
"Since you have already convicted her why bother to wait for the grand jury to decide on any charges."
Actually, it sounds to me like her plan to move to Canada is an acknowledgement of her own guilt.
Oh, Boo Hoo Bernie! You're (your in pig woman English) the big bad wolf because you exposed this woman's deeds, just like you exposed another woman's deeds a few years ago.
Based on the comments here, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Suck it up cupcake, mommy with come through with the cash to pay off Bernie, and you can remain in your estate on the Ridge. Just don't expect to win any elected office - you've (youve) destroyed your own reputation.
She's pretty, too bad you're stuck with the dog walkers and sticker boys
Really. That's the dopiest comment you have ever made.
Yeah, abusing the authority of her office to engage in repeated conflicts is "negligible."
Oh please, a nature conservancy in a building owned by the city where the city paid the electric and oil bills. That is a HUUUUGE abuse of power. I don't know if I'll ever recover my trust for my fellow man.
Oh brother.
It was an abuse of power that ended up costing the city $128,000in unpaid invoices and tens of thousands in unpaid utilities. So yes, in a city where seniors on fixed incomes were getting no dfuel oil from the city, this is a big deal.
WE still support Karen and will reelect her. As for you...no.
I was unaware that blogger is an elected position.
Now now Bernie, we all know you are just an internet tough guy
